Michigan, we’re not getting any younger. Going to the mall to return gifts today?…Or grocery shopping...To the office? Take a look around while you’re there. Who do you see? It’s probably a lot of older adults. Almost 20% of the state’s population is 65 or older. Over the past 17 years, Michigan has moved from the 30th oldest state in the USA to 10th oldest. So what? So, an aging population means the services YOU help provide to seniors are more important than ever. Through your support of PVM, make a healthy Michigan possible. You strengthen the economy by keeping seniors active in their communities. You are the reason that Michiganders can thrive as they age. Thank you for your continued dedication to Michigan’s older adults! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at 248-281-2040 or pvmfoundation@pvm.org. Warm regards, Paul J. Miller, CFRE

“M” stands for Move Last month I introduced you to MESH, what renowned geriatrician Dr. Bill Thomas refers to as the key to healthy aging. As you might recall, it’s an acronym that stands for Move, Eat, Sleep, Heal. According to Dr. Thomas, neglecting to do any one of these things can have dire consequences as we age. This month we will focus on what it means to move. I bet most of you have heard the phrase “use it or lose it”. It happens to be particularly true for the human body. Though our bodies are designed for movement, if we don’t move them our muscles, bones, heart, lungs, and even our brains will weaken and begin to function poorly. Fortunately, the opposite is also true. If we become and remain physically active our muscles, bones, heart, lungs and brains will strengthen and begin to function better. And the good news is that we don’t have train like Olympic athletes to reap the benefits. All we need to do is get up off the couch and take a little stroll. If we did this four times a day for just 5 minutes at a time we would do ourselves a world of good. If walking isn’t your thing, dance instead. Put on some music and move to the groove! The cool thing about dancing is that it can be done sitting or standing and can actually be done with or without music. And for the kind of dancing I’m talking about, there are no rules other than you need to move your entire body: arms, legs, head, and torso. If it’s been awhile since you’ve cut the rug (or engaged in any other type of regular physical activity), before you start inviting your neighbors over for regular dance parties it would wise to first check with your health care provider to make sure everything is o.k. Once you get the green light, whether you dance, walk, attend exercise classes, use the Village fitness center, or do some other form of physical activity the important thing to remember is to move. Choose to move! Your future-self will be glad your current-self made that choice.

PVM RECOGIZED AS BEST-MANAGED NONPROFIT

I am pleased to report that Crain’s Detroit Business has selected PVM as The Best- Managed Nonprofit for 2016. PVM received the honor “For tackling the complexity of meshing an affordable senior community with increased access to health care and related services for seniors in the surrounding neighborhood and collaborating at high levels to do it…” The Edward N. and Della L. Thome Rivertown Neighborhood, near Detroit’s east riverfront, was the driving force behind this award due to innovation and challenges which were met along the way by PVM and its partners. United Methodist Retirement Communities and Henry Ford Health System also deserve much credit for making this campus a success.

PVM, throughout its 71 year history, has been known for innovation and collaboration. All of our thirty villages represent what PVM is all about in providing

service excellence and a commitment to “embracing the possibilities” that life has to offer at any age. Congratulations to all on receiving this prestigious award. We will transport this same innovative spirit into 2017 and beyond. Happy New Year to all!

Presbyterian Villages of Michigan took on the complexities of developing an affordable senior community with a continuum of care

and on-site health services. Left to right: Paul Miller, president, Presbyterian Villages of Michigan Foundation; Gloria Robinson, chair of the Thome Rivertown Senior Housing Board; and Roger Myers, president and CEO, Presbyterian Villages of Michigan.

Example of an Ad Title

The Gospel While he was once on the way to becoming a minister, David Taylor (Boris Kodjoe) instead chose to become a popular music star, and the hedonism that followed turned his father against him. But despite the gulf between them, David comes home when he finds out that his father is sick. At the church David once stood to inherit, he finds that the Rev. Charles (Idris Elba), who has been groomed to shepherd the congregation after his father's retirement, has ideas that could ruin everything.
